Well, I think we can all agree that the world and especially the trans world is progressing too fast for everyone’s good! I have noted that a majority of other trans women are angry and non-realistic about themselves. Case in point: a trans woman IS a trans woman, not a cisgender woman! This having been said we need to learn how to co-exist peacefully and laws should not say that we are the same as you but this is the way it is. I cannot for my own protection travel to other states in this Red, White and Blue America with the marker “male” for my own protection. Our current law says that a “female” as another “female”. It is not my fault that this is so and by the same token I, along with so many other trans women cannot safely and nicely use public toilets for men. This subject has been well documented so we will just need to be displeased with the way things are at present. As for dating, since I continue to prefer cisgender women it is a real big problem for me as well as for so many other trans-lesbians, however, since modern men tend to get violent with us when they find out that we are trans, I am probably better off with my current orientation. I prefer to be alive and well rather than injured or dead: I want to live!!!
